Desean Jackson Can’t Respond When Asked If Redskins Will Contend This Year

Every single year before the season starts, all players from all teams want to believe their team has a shot at the Lombardi trophy. Then you have the Washington Redskins, who have had a HORRIBLE offseason. It’s like the Redskins got jealous of the horrible offseason the 49ers were having and said to themselves, “We can top this”

So once the season starts and we’re ahead full speed, I think we’re gonna surprise a lot of people, and a lot of people are really gonna be saying, ‘Wow, those guys are pretty good.’ So once the season starts — I’m not gonna put too much pressure on us — but I think we’ll be the team to beat this year.”
